Question 5 of 5
The nurse is observing continuous cardiac monitoring for assigned clients. Which of the following cardiac rhythms would immediate follow-up?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a lethal dyshythmia characterized by disorganized electrical activity in the heart ventricles. Because
